Description

Lila has just moved to a new town and can't wait to make friends at school.

But on the first day, a boy points at her and shouts: "A crow!

A crow! The new girl's hair is black like a crow!" The others whisper and laugh, and Lila's heart grows as heavy as a stone. The next day, Lila covers her hair. But this time, the boy points at her dark skin. When she covers her face, he mocks her dark eyes. Now every day at school, Lila hides under her turtleneck, dark glasses, and hat. And every day when she goes home, she sees a crow who seems to want to tell her something.

Lila ignores the bird and even throws rocks at it, but it won't go away. Meanwhile, the great autumn festival is approaching.

While the other kids prepare their costumes, Lila is sadder and lonelier than ever.

At her lowest point of despair, a magical encounter with the crow opens Lila's eyes to the beauty of being different, and gives her the courage to proudly embrace her true self.
